  1. FORCE MAJEURE (as defined by article 1218 of the French “Code civil”)

Either Party shall be excused from performance and shall not be in default in respect of any obligation hereunder to the extent that the failure to perform such obligation is due to an Event of Force Majeure as defined in the following:

As defined by article 1218 of the French “Code civil” (revised by the Ordonnance n°2016-131 of February 10th 2016 and in force since October 1st 2016) an Event of Force Majeure is defined as “There is force majeure in contractual matters when an event beyond the control of the debtor, which could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time of the conclusion of the contract and the effects of which cannot be avoided by appropriate measures, prevents the performance of its obligation by the debtor”.

To that extent an event of force majeure can be, as defined by some jurisprudences, but is not limited to, strikes, including employees or staff strike, strike of a sub-processor of any of the Party or Third Party, vandalism, war, armed conflicts, act of war or war threat, invasion, sabotage, terrorist acts and terrorist attacks, fire, epidemics, epizootic and pandemics, earthquake, floods, tornadoes, wind storms or wind tempest, storms, wildfire, tsunami, tempest, snowstorm and explosions, network communication breakdown or disruption or outage, embargo, governmental or legitimate authority request, administrative or legally required closure, electricity shortage or power outage outside the control of any Party or Third Party.

Nevertheless, to be able to invoke an event of force majeure, the Party or the Third Party showing that the event prevents the performance of its obligation must inform its counterpart without any delay by any kind of written document or written message. Such information must precisely and clearly show every circonstances of the case of force majeure and it must also mention the reasonable delay during which the event of force majeure will last.
Regular updates must be sent to every party regarding that matter.

In any cases, if the Party or Third Party that is invoking a case of force majeure cannot fulfil its obligations during a period longer than thirty (30) consecutive days then the other Party or Third Party can, as of right, terminate all or part of the Services impacted by the case of force majeure without any prejudice regarding the payment of damages to its counterpart.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Party prevented from performing under this Agreement by a force majeure event will nevertheless use its best efforts to recommence its performance under this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable and to mitigate any damages resulting from its non-performance under this Agreement.
